CHIEFS' POE IS PLAYING LEANER AND MEANER THAN EVER BEFORE
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Roland Genesy laughs and offers up this story: It's the spring of 2012, and Genesy, a personal trainer at Transforming Bodies Fitness in Memphis, is taking turns with Dontari Poe at putting on this harness -- a harness connected to a sled with 350 pounds worth of weights on it.
Before long, a small crowd gathers to watch the big men do their thing.
Genesy goes first.
Polite applause. Burns like sin, but he feels like he's got the thing moving at a decent clip.
Poe goes next.
Metal scrapes. Jaws drop.
"Was I moving as fast as he was?" Genesy asks a friend.
And the friend just shakes his head.
"Compared to him? Naw, man, you weren't moving."
"I knew, that day, not only was he fast, he's extremely powerful," Genesy says now. "He's a freak of nature. A freak. And I know he's got what it takes to definitely continue to excel."
Genesy had worked for years with Poe at Transforming Bodies, off and on, but most intensely in the months leading up to the 2012 NFL Draft, where the Kansas City Chiefs took the former Memphis Tigers standout at No. 11 overall. You call to ask if Roland saw a day like the one in Jacksonville coming, an afternoon in which Poe picked up five solo tackles, 1.5 sacks and bent the Jaguars pocket the way Superman bends a crowbar.

SOUTHAVEN DUAL-SPORT ATHLETE CHRISTIAN SAULSBERRY THRIVING IN FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL
Christian Saulsberry is a dual-sport athlete at Southaven High. He boasts lofty aspiration of landing an athletic scholarship.
However, he’s clinging to one good problem.
“I can’t decide,” Saulsberry told MemphiSport, when asked which sport on which he would prefer to concentrate at the next level. “Because I’m good at both of them. I just like to get after it. I like to make plays. I like to be the person the team depends on. I feel like when I’m doing good, everybody else does good.”
In a nutshell, as Saulsberry goes, so does his teammates.
That’s certainly has proven to be the case for this vibrant, sophomore sensation, who stars in both football and baseball for Southaven.
Since making the transition to the high schools ranks, the 16-year-old Saulsberry has been nothing less-than-stellar on the gridiron and baseball diamond.
To his credit, he made continuous strides this past season for a Charger football team that boasted an efficient rushing attack. While making nine appearances, the speedy 5-foot-7, 161-pound Saulsberry finished the 2013 campaign as Southaven’s leading rusher with 367 yards on 84 carries. His longest gain of the season was a 29-yard scamper for a Charger team that finished sixth in the always-rugged MHSAA Region 1-6A standings with a 6-6 record.
In addition, his 40.8 yards per game were the best among the team’s prolific backfield.
